Description

Three-dimensional composite zinc cathode and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nano materials and electrochemistry, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional composite zinc anode, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein a zinc layer with specific surface characteristics is pre-deposited on the surface of a three-dimensional substrate with a porous structure, and the three-dimensional composite material can be directly used as a zinc anode for a zinc-based battery, such as a water-based zinc ion battery.
Background
With the increasing demand for energy and the increasing global environmental problems, the development of clean and renewable energy is imperative. Lithium ion batteries have been widely used in electric automobiles and mobile electronic devices. However, the problems of insufficient lithium reserves, high price, poor safety, etc. limit the further development of lithium ion batteries. In recent years, aqueous zinc-based batteries based on zinc metal negative electrodes, such as zinc ion batteries, zinc-air batteries, zinc-based flow batteries, and the like, have been found to be low in cost, environmentally friendly due to high zinc storage, and high specific capacity of zinc metal (-820 mA h g) -1 ) And have received a great deal of attention. However, uneven electric field distribution on the surface of commercial zinc foil causes uneven zinc deposition/stripping process and dendrite growth, continuous growth of zinc dendrite may puncture the separator, which may cause short circuit of the battery, and in addition commercial zinc foil may undergo side reaction in aqueous electrolyte, resulting in low coulombic efficiency during cycling. So when commercial zinc foil is used for the negative electrode of the aqueous zinc-based battery, the growth of zinc dendrites and side reactions can seriously affect the cycling stability of the zinc negative electrode.
The repeated deposition/stripping process of the zinc anode is highly dependent on the surface properties of the zinc anode such as morphology and crystal plane orientation. Recently, the oxford university team adopts a block single crystal zinc sheet with a single (002) crystal face as a zinc metal negative electrode, so that highly reversible zinc metal deposition/stripping is realized, and the cycle and rate performance of the battery are greatly improved. The (002) crystal face and the surface of the zinc sheet with compact surface are key to realizing highly reversible zinc deposition/stripping by promoting the uniform distribution of the electric field on the surface of the zinc sheet, adjusting the nucleation growth process of zinc metal and reducing side reaction.
The present invention is to pre-deposit a zinc layer having a dense sheet-like stacked surface property mainly oriented with (002) crystal planes on a copper mesh having a three-dimensional porous structure by a controlled current electrodeposition method for the first time. When the three-dimensional composite material is used as a zinc anode, the surface property of the pre-deposited zinc layer reduces dendrites and side reactions by promoting the uniform distribution of an electric field on the surface of the zinc anode, and improves the cycle reversibility of the zinc anode. The electrodeposition method can be popularized to the controllable zinc metal pre-deposition of other three-dimensional porous current collectors, and a pre-deposited zinc layer with (002) crystal face orientation and compact flaky stacking surface property is prepared.
Further popularizing, depositing a zinc layer with (002) crystal face orientation and compact flaky stacking surface property on the surface of the three-dimensional substrate with a porous structure by any pre-deposition method, wherein the three-dimensional composite material can be used as a zinc cathode to realize reversible zinc metal deposition/stripping, thereby improving the cycle and rate capability of the battery.
Therefore, the invention develops the three-dimensional composite material with the zinc layer with specific surface characteristics deposited on the surface of the three-dimensional porous substrate, which is the zinc negative electrode capable of realizing excellent cycle and rate performance, and can be widely applied to large-scale, mobile portable, miniature or flexible wearable zinc-based batteries based on the zinc negative electrode.

Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described with reference to the following examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
Example 1
The pre-deposited zinc layer of the present invention was prepared and characterized as follows:
1) Cutting 50 μm thick zinc foil and 400 mesh copper mesh into rectangle of 1.2cm×1 cm;
2) Pretreating the copper mesh obtained in the step 1) in HCl with the mass fraction of 10% to remove a surface oxide layer;
3) 15g of analytically pure sodium sulfate, 15g of analytically pure zinc sulfate and 2.5g of analytically pure boric acid are weighed into 100mL of deionized water and stirred in a beaker to form a uniformly dispersed colorless transparent solution as a plating solution;
4) In a standard double electrode device, the copper mesh obtained in the step 2) is directly used as a working electrode, the commercial zinc foil obtained in the step 1) is used as a counter electrode, and the colorless transparent solution obtained in the step 3) is used as a plating solution. Controlled current deposition was performed on a CHI 760E electrochemical workstation with a current density of 40mA cm -2 The electrodeposition time is 540s, the working electrode is immediately taken out after the test, washed by deionized water and wiped by dust-free paper, and the three-dimensional composite material with compact flaky stacking morphology and (002) crystal face orientation of the pre-deposited zinc layer can be obtained.
Taking the pre-deposited zinc layer with compact flaky stacking morphology and (002) crystal face orientation as an example in the embodiment, a schematic diagram of the controlled-current electrodeposition of the present invention is shown in fig. 1. By applying a constant current in the acid electrolyte, dissolution of zinc will occur in commercial zinc foil and deposition of zinc will occur on the copper mesh surface. FIG. 2 is a copper mesh at 40mA cm -2 SEM images after constant current electrodeposition of zinc of different cut-off surface capacities. It can be seen that zinc is uniformly nucleated on the surface of the copper mesh during the initial phase of electrodeposition. With the capacity of the electrodeposited surface from 1mAh cm -2 Increase to 6mAh cm -2 The formed crystal nucleus grows into orderly arranged flaky shape and is densely and uniformly accumulated on the surface of the copper mesh. Phase analysis of the zinc anode after pre-deposition of the zinc layer (FIG. 3) revealed that after electrodeposition, a new derivative appearedThe peak was assigned to the Zn phase (PDF # 03-065-5973), indicating that zinc was deposited on the copper wire mesh with no by-product. As shown in fig. 4, zinc chemical bond analysis was further performed on the surface of the electrodeposited 540s composite material. No zinc-copper alloy was found to be produced during electrodeposition.
When the composite material of the pre-deposited zinc with compact flaky stacking morphology and (002) crystal face orientation prepared in the example is used as an electrode of a button symmetric battery, the area capacity is 1mAh cm -2 At 1mA cm -2 Is based on the button symmetric cell of the pre-deposited zinc cathode at 2M ZnSO 4 The aqueous electrolyte was allowed to stably circulate for 850h (FIG. 5). While button symmetric cells based on commercial zinc foil can only be cycled steadily for less than 100h under the same conditions (fig. 6). Proved by the method for pre-depositing the zinc layer, the circulating stability of the zinc cathode can be improved, so that the pre-deposited zinc cathode is a water-based zinc ion battery cathode material with application prospect.
We also performed morphological analysis of the electrode surface after cyclic testing. As shown in FIG. 7, the composite material was at 1mAh cm -2 And 1mA cm -2 After 400 hours of circulation under the condition of (2), no obvious dendrite growth is observed on the surface, and the morphology of flaky compact accumulation can be still observed; whereas commercial zinc foil has significant dishing and dendrite generation on its surface (fig. 8), which is responsible for the short circuit and failure of the symmetrical cell. Therefore, the electrodeposition method developed by the invention can be used for pre-depositing a zinc layer with (002) crystal face orientation and compact flaky stacking surface property on the surface of the three-dimensional copper mesh, so that the cycle stability of the zinc cathode is improved. Meanwhile, the zinc layer with (002) crystal face orientation and compact flaky stacking surface property is pre-deposited on the surface of the three-dimensional substrate with the porous structure, and the three-dimensional composite material is a zinc negative electrode capable of realizing excellent cycle stability, and can be applied to zinc-based batteries based on the zinc negative electrode, such as a water-based zinc ion battery.
